Blow Out the Candles Dec 17

Leo Cardenas, born in Matanzas, Cuba, turns 71 today. "Chico" was a five time All-Star for the Reds and Twins.

Singer/songwriter Bree Sharp is celebrating her 34th birthday today. I like her work in general but one of my guilty pleasures is her song David Duchovny, a song of obsession with the X-Files star. It has some really over the top rhymes and a tongue in cheek humor that I can't resist. On the downside, the other night, after listening to the song repeatedly in preparation for this post, I woke up with a bad migraine. As is often the case when I get a migraine I have an accompanying repetition of a random song that runs through my brain. In this case it was the Duchovny song.

Here it is:

It's Sunday night, I am curled up in my roomThe TV light, fills my heart like a balloonI hold it in as best I can, I know I'm just another fanBut I can't help feeling I could love this secret agent manAnd I can'tWait any more for him to discover me, I got it bad for David DuchovnyDavid Duchovny why won't you love me, why won't you love me

My friends all tell me, "Girl you know it's just a show"But deep within his eyes, I see me wrapped up like a bowWatching the sky for a sign, the FBI is on my mindI'm waiting for the day, when my lucky stars alignIn the form ofDavid Duchovny floating above me, in the alien lightof the spaceship of love I needDavid Duchovny hovering above me, American Heathcliff brooding and comelyDavid Duchovny why won't you love me, why won't you love meWhy won't you love me

So smooth and so smartHe's abducted my heartAnd I'm falling apartFrom the looks I receiveFrom those eyes I can't leaveWell you can say I'm naiveBut he told me to believe

Oooooooooooooooooooh

My bags are packed, I am ready for my flightWanna put an end to, my daydream days and sleepless nightsSitting like a mindless clone, wishing he would tap my phoneJust to hear the breath of the man, the myth, the monotoneAnd I would say

Great post as always my friend! I had just purchased the '68 Managers Dream card as a Christmas present for myself-I picked up a '61 Cardenas, too... You beat me to the punch in posting it though. It is a great card and imagining those three batting 1-2-3 would be pretty amazing. Anyway, good stuff...
